A Haunting Tale of Love, Loss, and the Ghosts of the Past
For childhood friends Leo Kelly, Jane Devlin, and newly ordained "Packy" Keenan, the summers they spent at the lake together were times of pure magic. No summer was more enchanting than the summer of 1948—until a tragic car wreck killed two of their friends.
The rich and prominent "Old House" families of Chicago banded together to protect their own. The driver, the son of a local doctor, was drunk, but a cover-up and vicious scandal ensued. Leo left for the Korean War, and the three friends' idyllic summers at the lake were gone forever.
Thirty years later, Leo, still haunted by the memory of Jane and the need to solve the mystery of that fateful summer, returns to Chicago and the lake. Jane, trapped in a loveless marriage, is more beautiful than ever. She has returned to the lake to piece her life back together. Disillusioned with the priesthood, Packy realizes he's in love with Jane, too. As a confidant to Leo and Jane, he faces a difficult choice: should he help his oldest friend win back the woman of his dreams or pursue what might be his own last chance for love?
Summer at the Lake is a poignant tale of love, loss, and the ghosts of the past that continue to haunt us. In this moving saga, Andrew M. Greeley masterfully weaves a story of friendship, romance, and the power of secrets to shape our lives.
